Hahn+Hartung is an artistic-documentary photography duo based in Berlin. We have been working together since 2010, using photography as a tool to tell stories about our society. We believe in photography's unique ability to inform our perspective and convey our findings. Furthermore, our stories often consist of various individual elements that, when combined, create a larger picture of a specific aspect of our society.
In addition to our personal projects, we also undertake editorial assignments. Our particular strength lies in the art of staging individuals who have lived unique experiences or represent distinct viewpoints. We specialize in visually recounting stories, a skill that often finds us in the world of crime photography. Our work involves thorough research, building connections, and establishing trust with individuals to authentically portray their narratives.
